Of course, in these playoffs, it is always best to

If the Detroit Pistons are lucky enough to select Victor Wembanyama in the 2023 NBA Draft, they will have defied recent history. The team with the worst win-loss ratio is yet to select first overall since the lottery odds were adjusted in 2019. In September 2017, the NBA Board of Governors passed a lottery reform
